HappyValleyHappy 48 Posted July 3, 2015 My surgery was Tuesday. At my sis in law till yesterday morning and home yesterday. I feel really good. Still very tired and am feeling some gas pressure this morning around my chest. I guess that's what it is. Protein Shakes, Water, hot tea this morning. Lots of water. Crush some of my pills and mix with yogurt. So far my body is tolerating everything really well. I'm definitely not pushing it. Slow and easy. I'm really surprised at how good I feel.

laguerr13 993 Posted July 4, 2015 I know it probably sounds redundant if everyone is telling you but, on those moments of feeling that pressure WALK WALK WALK!!!!!!! It really helped me, it also helps expel the anesthesia which can linger for days and adds to the nausea Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HappyValleyHappy 48 Posted July 4, 2015 Lots of walking. Outside feeding the chickens and getting the eggs. Walking with the dogs. Around the house. This morning the pressure is much less. Just a tiny bit of discomfort. Nothing I can't handle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alisiak 25 Posted July 5, 2015 Your Dr has you on Protein Shakes already? I'm still on Clear Liquids for a few more days, I'm 5days post op. Good to hear you're tolerating them so well, a shake sounds like a dream right about now... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HappyValleyHappy 48 Posted July 6, 2015 Started on the shakes 8 hours before I left the hospital. Yesterday and today were the only days I was able to finish an entire Protein Shake. Supposed to do 2 a day but just haven't been able to do it. Doing fine with the Water, tho. Where I live we've been between 102 and 115 degrees since way before the surgery so water is always a big part of our intake. It's all going so well. I'm knocking wood for sure.
